Hipparchus: Sagittarius
This is one of our favorite chapters.
The figure of Sagittarius wraps around the Southern Crown, not quite encircling it.
But if we take the front left hock of the centaur as the center of the figure, we encounter a lovely encircling.
Oh – there’s an appendix on cubits, if you’re interested in that sort of thing.
